Bill and Bess

Thinking about Bill and Bess and their succession planning issues, they have worked hard all their lives to produce enough food for an ever growing population and just as they are about to pass their property down to their daughter along came a developer and decided to build a road through the middle of their property.

Do you think the Main Roads Authority thought about how Bill and Bess would be affected? That's just it as you have been saying we don't think enough about the agricultural industry before the masses of infrastructure are built around us. But as the population has grown and the amount of people the average farmer feeds continues to increase, farmers will continue to adopt new technologies and improved production methods to meet these trends.

So as for Bill and Bess and their wonderful daughter, I think they will be able to continue farming this land successfully using sustainable farming methods with the adoption of new technologies.
